Abstract

This paper examines a mathematical model of an air handling unit, which is developed for analyzing and investigating data from simulation model of the air handling unit itself. The primary goal of this model is to provide a deeper understanding of the behavior of the air handling unit and to facilitate the analysis of various parameters and conditions. Additionally, the paper also includes a description of the theoretical foundations of the air handling unit. This includes an explanation of all the subsystems that constitute the air handling unit, with a focus on energy efficiency, as these systems are significant energy consumers.
